Quick answer
The free and total testosterone test measures two forms of the hormone from one blood sample. Total testosterone counts everything in the blood, while free testosterone counts only the unbound portion that tissues can use. Ordering both gives a more complete view when a hormone imbalance is suspected, and results are interpreted by a qualified healthcare provider.
About this test in Altadena
Testosterone circulates mostly bound to proteins, with a small free fraction. Total testosterone captures the full amount, while free testosterone isolates the active portion. Because binding proteins can shift independently of total levels, measuring both helps explain situations where a total result looks normal but symptoms suggest otherwise.
The test uses a single blood sample, typically drawn in the morning. The laboratory reports a total testosterone level and a free testosterone level, along with reference ranges that vary by age and sex. Related markers such as sex hormone-binding globulin may be added to help interpret the free value.
Clinicians order the combined test for symptoms of low or high testosterone, for fertility evaluation, and for monitoring a known hormone condition. It is a laboratory tool, not a diagnosis. A qualified healthcare provider combines the numbers with symptoms, examination, and sometimes further testing.
